It’s been a VERY long while since my last post (it’s good to be busy!). Very recently, the LRC purchased a set of user licenses for several European and Asian language learning multimedia programs, from  EuroTalk’s Talk Now, Talk More and Vocab Builder series. Using EuroTalk’s Language Lab Network Manager software, I was very easily able to install all the language material to our dedicated Windows 2008 R2 applications server share. A client GUI in MSI format was provided to connect to and run the programs off the server, installed very conveniently to every client PC using Group Policy (Fancy that – a language package that actually provides MSI’s!). I was quite impressed. I’ve found a few bugs in a couple of the language programs, but nothing that cannot be sorted out by EuroTalk in their next version. Let’s hope we get some good feedback from our students …
